Yep. I had mine built up by a local track specific shop here using the stuff off my conversion. They used that setup as reference points, and got it mostly right. Problem is, they may have cut the steerer tube and set the stem just a bit too low for me (even with a couple spacers) and there's nothing left of the tube to raise..... Might have to get a stem with a bit of rise. Lesson: don't have the steerer tube cut until you get the fit you want!!!
